·Academia.edu: Dear all,
I’m a Fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished my D.Phil on the intersection of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of perception.
I’ve just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
- It displays academics around the world in a 'tree' format, according to what university/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
My hope for the site is that it will list every academic – Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on.
Linguistics is currently one of the most active research interests on Academia.edu, with people in 13 different sub-research interests:
Composition Studies
Computational Linguistics / Natural Language Processing
Discourse Analysis
Historical Linguistics
History Of Linguistics
Interlinguistics
Languages
Morphology
Philology
Phonetics
Phonology
Pragmatics
Rhetoric
Semantics
Semiotics
Sociolinguistics
Syntax
I’m trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes.
And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.
Many thanks,
Richard

·ACQUILEX Project on Computational Lexicons and Lexicography: The Acquilex projects were funded by the European Commission under the Basic Research initiative. The goal of the first project was to explore the utility of constructing a multilingual lexical knowledge base from machine-readable versions of conventional dictionaries. The second project extended this goal by exploring the utility of machine readable textual corpora as a source of lexical information not coded in conventional dictionaries, and by adding dictionary publishing partners to exploit the lexical database and corpus extraction software developed by the projects for conventional lexicography.

The aim of AMARAUNA World Languages Network is to exchange experience and information making use of the possibilities that internet provides. Any person or organisation will be able to participate presenting their works or offering their knowledge and experience. A forum will be created approaching this project to people in charge of maintaining the linguistic heritage, researchers, working groups, etc. It will promote the establishment of an adequate linguistic policy for the recuperation of languages in danger.

·AMERIND: AMERIND is a discussion list for examining hypotheses concerning deep relationships between Native American language families and isolates, 20 years after the publication of Joseph Greenberg's 'Language in the Americas'. The Greenbergian scheme has diffused widely through the media, and is often uncritically accepted by linguistic typologists, geneticists and others. Work by Sapir, Swadesh, Haas, and others can also be discussed. This particular horse may seem to have been beaten to death in the period after 1987, but questions still remain, and newer findings need to be integrated into the discussion. Hope to see you there.

·Building a Catalogue of South American Languages: Etnolinguistica.Org, an information hub on indigenous South American languages (http://www.etnolinguistica.org), has recently launched an initiative to create a peer- maintained, up-to-date catalogue of South American languages, relying on a network of linguists directly involved in the documentation and analysis of the continent's languages. Each entry in the catalogue is an individual page providing basic information such as number of speakers, location, genetic affiliation, etc. Additional information on the catalogue (currently, only in Portuguese) can be found at the following address:
http://www.etnolinguistica.org/linguas
The catalogue is cross-referenced with a directory of South Americanists (http://www.etnolinguistica.org/cadastro) and an ever-growing list of online resources (theses, news articles, academic papers, hard-to-find books, etc.), in such a way that, by clicking on a given language tag, one can find not only a list of online materials, but ways of getting directly in touch with linguists working on that language as well. It is hoped that such integration between authors and resources will ensure a certain measure of control, by the scientific community, over the quality of the information being provided.
The catalogue's editors strongly urge all interested colleagues to contribute to this initiative, by reviewing the available entries (http://www.etnolinguistica.org/catalogo:preenchidas) and filling up the online form available at the following address:
http://www.etnolinguistica.org/form:lingua

·Corpus Presenter website (corpus processing software): A new website has been installed at Essen University in Germany which is dedicated to the program Corpus Presenter. It is intended as a guide to this corpus processing software and offers an intuitive means of navigating to the various sections. These explain in a simple and visually effective way just what one can do with Corpus Presenter and why it might be of benefit to scholars or students who wish to obtain quick and accurate results from examining any texts or corpora.
One particular reason for mounting this website now is to offer information about the new version of Corpus Presenter - Version 9 - which has been written specifically for Windows XP and which contains many improvements in terms of speed and flexibility over earlier versions of the program suite. Anyone who has purchased the book Corpus Presenter (John Benjamins, Amsterdam, 2003), or whose library has, should download the version 9 update and send me an email for the registration code (only needs to be entered once).
The website also contains a *free* version, called Corpus Presenter Lite, which can be downloaded with a small test corpus and used straight away. The lite version contains all functions of the full version, except the most sophisticated level of text retrieval. It is not protected in any way and can be distributed freely, for instance, to interested colleagues or students taking courses on corpus linguistics.
The website has been designed and is maintained by the author of Corpus Presenter, Raymond Hickey.

·Dialect Syntax: DialectSyntax.org is a digital meeting place for researchers in the field of micro-comparative syntax . Its general goal is to stimulate international cooperation in the study of dialect syntax, which is a rapidly growing field. The initiative for this website is taken by Edisyn, an ESF-funded project which runs from 2005 - 2010 and is carried out at the Meertens Institute.
This website contains the following information:
- Links to research groups, institutes and researchers actively involved in the study of dialect syntax. One can search for these links by country or by dialect;
- Links to online papers on dialect syntax (Dialect Syntax Archive);
- Links to past and future events on dialect syntax.
If you want to be part of this network or if you know a dialect syntax research group that could be added, please contact us.
Still in development are the following parts:
- Descriptions of databases containing syntactic data on dialects as well as links to databases which are available online.
- A discussion forum.
- In the near future a 'blog' will be added which announces relevant news items on dialect syntax, such as conference calls, conference programs, publications, etc. The idea is that the Edisyn-team moderates this blog, but that information can be uploaded by registered users.
Feel free to send us an e-mail (edisyn@meertens.knaw.nl) with comments and/ or (more) information.
This website is hosted by the Meertens Institute and run by the Edisyn-group (http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/projecten/edisyn/).

·HindiTech: The absence of a field of knowledge in a language is sign of imperfection of concerned society not of the language. In this entire process, due to lack of better coordination and contemporary development, the objectivity and capability of the language becomes questionable after certain period even ridiculous, too. This is happening with all Indian languages in localising process of information technology. These languages are unable to make better correlation with speedy development of computational behaviours. Hindi is one of them. So instead of the sense of present satisfaction, a determined commitment towards resolving the upcoming challenges can be accumulated with hope and this e-forum is a modest effort in this direction. Promotion of Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence in wider range of India is one of the purposes of the forum, scientific writing and original thinking in Hindi will be encouraged as well. Thus, the scholars who are involve in in-depth research in the several areas of Natural Language Processing and their efforts, experiences and achievements can be made accessible at the mass level. It can be encouraged with academic intervention among various research institutions with meaningful dialogue, so that, this accessible forum can promote researchers for their writings with research and development resulting into avoidance of natural vagueness of secondary sources of writing. This forum is also targeted to make available a fare reviews of books, softwares and formalisms of concerned discipline with the aim of popularising them among interested people and to initiate dialogue about its utilities. Although, the medium of the accompanying magazine will be Hindi and English, there will be space to coordinate with all Indian languages. However as per its commitment, the magazine will be centralised to Hindi, for Hindi and through Hindi. If English will peep a little, that should be taken as natural pressure of this subject and also a positive indication of forthcoming acceptance for Hindi in this discipline.
This web-forum is committed to create conducive academic environment for research & development. Accordingly a huge database will be prepared where Linguists, Computer Scientists and their academic activities can be preserved with the aim of making them available at mass level. Finally, It is requested to all the scholars to enrich the forum with their important suggestions, writings and view sharing.

The new group is called “Social and Organizational Analysis” and it is aimed at developing social scientific analysis and research in two areas: organizational phenomena and social problems.
a) Organizational phenomena
This area carries out research on topics, such as private and public organizations, management, innovation, skills-competences, labour relations, business systems, entrepreneurship, etc. This research area is led by Professor Ignasi Brunet. Ignasi Brunet has been in the last decade the coordinator of the Sociology of Organizations Group within the Spanish Sociology Association. Within this area there is a group of about 6 researchers interested in different aspects of organizational phenomena.
b) Social problems
This area carries out research on topics, such as gender, social structures (poverty, social exclusion, etc.), public policies, etc. This broad research area is led by several researchers, according to their areas of expertise. In this track there are about 8-10 researchers specialized in different fields and topics.
RIO: In 2007 the group launched a new academic journal “Revista Internacional de Organizaciones” RIO (International Journal of Organizations), with the institutional support of the Ibero-American Association of Sociology of Organizations. Although it publishes articles mainly in Spanish, RIO is also open to articles in English. It has a target number of 2 issues per year for the first coming years.
In 2010 two Russian scholars took part in the Seminar's meetings. On March 25 Professor Valery A.

·LANCHART - Danish National Research Foundation Centre for Language Change In Real Time: The aim of establishing the Danish National Research foundation’s Centre for Language Change In Real Time (the LANCHART centre) is to develop and empirically test a new theory of language change. Theoretical work will inform the parallel empirical study.
Thus, the purpose of the centre is:
To formulate and test a model for language change on new Danish data by performing a large scale survey of change in real time exploiting previous dialectological and sociolinguistic projects. The model integrates sociolinguistics and language history and should, in addition, consider biological, neurological, as well as developmental and social psychological constraints on language maintenance and change. It should detail specific historical processes as possible determinants of change.
Empirical Work:
The data will be collected by carefully re-recording the original informants of a total of seven dialectological and sociolinguistic studies carried out in various parts of Denmark.
The replications will give us data on language change in real time as opposed to the standard model of change in apparent time. In addition, new and supplementary data from the local speech communities, including among other things, data on language attitudes, will enable us to test the representativity of the panel of informants studied in real time. Finally, new interviews with informants who were too young to be interviewed previously, will make it possible for the next generation of researchers to further specify the picture of Denmark as a speech community.
Denmark is the ideal laboratory for a study of how a minor nation state has changed from a predominantly agricultural society in 1900 to a multilingual, post-industrial speech community at the end of the 20th century. The historical processes studied will include:
Urbanization
Changes in socialization practice
The internationalization of the Danish society
The Scientific Relevance of the LANCHART Project
The LANCHART project will result in a unique description of the linguistic history of a more or less typical minor nation state based on geographically distributed speech samples. Additionally, the study of language change in general may benefit from this study.
Language history must be based on the study of written sources, but we need to know how and why speech changes as well. In real time.

·Language and Inmigration: INMIGRA2007 network deals with the multidisciplinary study of immigrant people in 'Comunidad Autónoma' de Madrid. The study is planned from a linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse analysis, translating and applied linguistics approach.

·Le français à la mesure d'un continent: un patrimoine en partage (dir. F. Martineau): The main focus of this international collaborative research initiative is to understand the tensions generated by the discrepancies between linguistic borders and the borders of cultural identity, both of which are in constant flux. This project aims to examine how these borders intermesh, by analysing the practices and representations of French speakers and the communities they formed in French America, as well as by placing individuals and their language at the focus of social change. Thus, this innovative program takes a unified approach to comparing relations between language as a cognitive entity and language as a cultural entity. In order to account for the complexity of the relationship, this project is supported by an international multidisciplinary team of experts from various human science disciplines and by respected partners from within the French-speaking community. By considering the heritage that Francophones share, assessing the effects of cultural and linguistic transfers, and recognizing the crucial role of representations and attitudes in relation to language, researchers will be in a better position to identify the contemporary issues facing French-speaking minority, majority and multicultural communities. This project will further help advance knowledge of linguistic change, migration and intercultural relations, as well as the dynamics of minority communities. It will also be of great concern to Canadian society through the issues it addresses and the reflections it prompts will help consolidate Canada's leadership within the international French-speaking community.

·MORILAN: ‘Morphology in language-contact situations: Greek dialects in contact with Turkish and Italian’ (MORILAN) is a project which aims to examine how morphology can be affected in language-contact situations. The investigated data are drawn from Grekanico (Griko and Bovese, South Italy), Heptanesian (Western part of Greece), and three Asia Minor dialects, Pontic, Cappadocian and Aivaliot.
The project focuses on 6 salient questions that are of major importance in linguistic theory: (a) the base of word formation and (b) the relation between form and meaning in contact-induced systems, (c) the relation between borrowing and lexical information, (d) possible differences in borrowability between the members of major grammatical categories, (e) borrowability of functional elements, and (f) borrowability of inflectional and derivational morphemes.
The project aims at inaugurating a scientific field which remains unexplored in Greek linguistics and to contribute to the ongoing research concerning morphology in language contact situations. We also aim to promote an international dialogue on this issue, thus, we encourage people to send us comments and/or questions concerning these issues.

·Pattern Chemistry of Language: The collection of e-publications 'Pattern Chemistry of Language' is an attempt to apply Pattern Theory of Ulf Grenander (see numerous links on the Web) to the atomistic aspects of language. The central organizing idea of Chemistry, borrowed from Physics, is that between an initial stable state of atoms connected in a particular way, and the final stable state of the same atoms connected in a different way, there is an unstable fleeting state of transition (transition state) from one to the other. Pattern Theory is a kind of generalized Chemistry. If applied to language, it regards it as a natural process governed by relative stability and kinetics of linguistic structures.

·The CYCLE Test: If anyone is need of a good linguistic battery, please check out the CYCLE (Curtiss-Yamada Comprehensive Language Evaluation). The CYCLE was developed by Dr. Susan Curtiss, who is most famous for working with Genie, and Dr. Jeni Yamada.
The CYCLE is an in-depth assessment test that allows the clinician or researcher to examine comprehensively, a subject’s linguistic knowledge and performance in syntax, morphology, and semantics, and submodules in these components.
The CYCLE covers structures and features that emerge between 1 1/2 and 10 years of age, the active language development years. It includes a wide range of linguistic structures, including early to late acquired forms and grammatically simple to grammatically complex forms. The structures covered thus comprise a major part of the grammatical core of English. The CYCLE is useful for assessing whether specific aspects of the grammar are intact or affected and can be used with subjects across a wide range of ages and cognitive abilities.
To learn more about the test please visit the website.
